B air currents have a direct effect on rainfall 1 B. Air currents have a direct effect on rainfall. 1. Because Earth rotates on its axis daily and its surface consists of continents and oceans, an overall flow of warm and cold air currents are modified into three large circulation cells in each hemisphere. a) At the equator, the sun heats the air and evaporates water.

Can someone please explain how ocean currents affect global climate? · just now. 1  Ocean currents affect global climate because of the water they transport. Warm ocean currents bring warm water to the poles so that they don't freeze, and cold ocean currents bring down water from the poles. 2  Ocean currents bring warm and cold water to different parts of the globe.

Currents and Factors that affect surface currents-Drake Transcript of Currents and Factors that affect surface currents-Drake. The water in the ocean moves in giant streams called Currents. Surface Currents are currents that move at or near the surface of the ocean, they are driven by wind. Colder, denser air sinks and forms areas of high pressure. Air moves from higher pressure areas, to lower pressure areas. This movements gives rise to wind, because wind is moving air, wind has kinetic energy.

Ocean current Depth contours, shoreline configurations, and interactions with other currents influence a current's direction and strength. Ocean currents flow for great distances, and together, create the global conveyor belt which plays a dominant role in determining the climate of many of the Earth ’s regions. More specifically, ocean currents influence the temperature of the regions through which they travel. For example, warm currents traveling along more temperate coasts increase the temperature of the area by warming the sea breezes that blow over them.

Ocean currents can be generated by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes. Ocean currents can be generated by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes. Currents are cohesive streams of seawater that circulate through the ocean. Some are short-lived and small, while others are vast flows that take centuries to complete a circuit of the globe.

Ocean Currents and Climate The movement of this heat through local and global ocean currents affects the regulation of local weather conditions and temperature extremes, stabilization of global climate patterns, cycling of gases, and delivery of nutrients and larva to marine ecosystems.

- Coastal currents are affected by local winds. Surface ocean currents, which occur on the open ocean, are driven by a complex global wind system. To understand the effects of winds on ocean currents, one first needs to understand the Coriolis force and the Ekman spiral. Coriolis Effect If the Earth did not rotate and remained stationary, the atmosphere would circulate between the poles (high pressure areas) and the equator (a low pressure area) in a simple back-and-forth pattern.

How Do Ocean Currents Influence Climate? There are many different causes for natural disasters; seismic activity, air pressure, ocean currents and soil erosion are the main causes. A natural disaster can cause damage to property, loss of life and effect the economy of the local area.

Ocean Currents Ocean currents are the vertical or horizontal movement of both surface and deep water throughout the world’s oceans. Currents normally move in a specific direction and aid significantly in the circulation of the Earth’s moisture, the resultant weather, and water pollution.ecause ocean currents circulate water worldwide, they have a significant impact on the movement of energy and moisture between the oceans and the atmosphere. As a result, they are important to the world’s weather.

The ocean plays a fundamental role in shaping the climate zones we see on land. Even areas hundreds of miles away from any coastline are still largely influenced by the global ocean system. The ocean plays a fundamental role in shaping the climate zones we see on land. Illustration of major ocean currents throughout the globe. Ocean currents act as conveyer belts of warm and cold water, sending heat toward the polar regions and helping tropical areas cool off.The world’s ocean is crucial to heating the planet. While land areas and the atmosphere absorb some sunlight, the majority of the sun’s radiation is absorbed by the ocean.cean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics.

- The transfer of heat is normally from a high temperature object to a lower temperature object. Heat transfer changes the internal energy of both systems involved according to the First Law of Thermodynamics.

Twisting the Air Away - The Coriolis Effect Overall Lesson Goal: The student will understand that one of the effects of the Earth’s rotation on the air and oceans is called the Coriolis Effect and it causes objects including air and water to move to the east in the Northern Hemisphere and to the west in the Southern Hemisphere.Individual Learning Objectives:he change in direction is called the Coriolis effect. It is a very small effect but the Earth is large and has been rotating for a long time. It has an impact on how winds and ocean currents move. Please do not fall into the trap (no pun intended) regarding toilets and drains and the Coriolis effect.

- “There’s a debate about how cities affect rainfall,” Shepherd answers. “There are several hypotheses about what is going on, but they primarily involve the urban land use and urban aerosols.” The first hypothesis deals with the urban “heat island” effect. Cities are made of heat-absorbing materials like concrete, steel, and asphalt.

Currents and Climates Since cold air holds less moisture than warm air, these currents bring cool, dry weather. What cause the chilly waters at the bottom of the ocean? Deep currents.

- Answer 2: The contribution of the ocean currents to the climate exists, and it also works in the opposite direction. I mean, the climate also contributes to ocean currents. Ocean waters are constantly on the move. How they move influences climate and living conditions for plants and animals, even on land.

- Currents move ocean water horizontally at the ocean's surface. Surface currents are driven mainly by the wind. Other forces such as the Coriolis effect and the location of landmasses do affect surface current patterns. The Coriolis Effect explains how the earth's spin causes the wind to curve.

How Do Ocean Currents Influence Climate? Quick Answer. Ocean currents affect climate in several different ways: they regulate temperature, help to stabilize atmospheric conditions in land regions and bring nutrients to marine environments. Ocean currents form in large and small oceans and seas around the world.

The ocean plays a fundamental role in shaping the climate zones we see on land. Even areas hundreds of miles away from any coastline are still largely influenced by the global ocean system. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area. Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides (the gravitational effects of the sun and moon).

Atmospheric Forces The Coriolis force will never change the speed of an object, only its direction. Air currents, which exist as a response to pressure forces, are deflected by the rotation of the earth. If Earth did not rotate, air currents would flow directly from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

Ocean currents can be generated by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes. On the ocean floor, water masses forced through narrow openings in a ridge system or flowing around a seamount may create currents that are far greater than in the surrounding water—affecting the distribution and abundance of organisms as well as the scientists and their equipment seeking to study them.
